People shocked about the horrors of of animal cruelty in the bio industry. More at 11. Tomorrow on our menu, probably steak or bacon. 😐

Do you want new prion diseases? Because that’s how you get new prion diseases.

Isn't animal agriculture so fun? Always some neat new horrors you couldn't even come up with

[–] asbestos@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

sweet human made horrors beyond my comprehension

[–] moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

peeping the horror has never been less fun! (Though the amount of death has remained the same)

[–] 58008@lemmy.world 25 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Every pig they feed in this manner is absorbing the combined knowledge of every pig that preceded it. I look forward to being treated fairly and kindly by our new superintelligent pig race overlords with decades of memories of human depravity and cruelty pre-wired into their brains from birth. I look forward to my very kind and gentle treatment indeed.

Eh, that’s more the spread. The cause is the misfolding prion. Mad cow can spontaneously crop up every now and then.

[–] oo1@kbin.social 19 points 11 months ago

Of course! We should've been eating the covid victims.
That's what big Pharma didn't want us to know.

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 16 points 11 months ago

Yup animal industry is fucking disgusting

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

You do know that pigs can and will eat anything right? They can digest a fucking human corpse in a matter of hours.

[–] usernamesAreTricky@lemmy.ml 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Keep in mind here they are also specifically feeding diseased and infected dead pig

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

To build their immunity, yes. Sort of like a vaccine.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 9 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

So you eat a diseased meet to build up your immunity right?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

I guess it's impossible to know on internet but they might not be a pig

[–] Pantherina@feddit.de 2 points 11 months ago (5 children)

Source please.

No animal eats its own kind. And shit neither, if it isnt because or vitamin B12 or immense stress.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Of course there are animals who kills their own kind, you can find it in a quick Google search.

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What's the point of your comment? No one claimed animals don't kill their own kind.

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What? Have you actually read the comment I replied?

[–] KISSmyOS@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Yes. Do you know that there's a difference between "kill" and "eat"?

[–] calavera@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

And the killing was obviously on the context of eating... Do we have to be 100% pedantic so people can understand?

[–] floridaman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 11 months ago

Cannibalism happens all the time in nature? Some animals eat their own children, humans are animals that do cannibalism on occasion, yes it's fucked up that we are feeding dead diseased pigs to other pigs but lots of things are fucked up too, and saying that cannibalism doesn't happen in nature isn't helping to solve the issue here.

[–] SchizoDenji@lemm.ee 5 points 11 months ago

Google savaging.

You must have never seen a mama hamster.

That url tho.

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

Ever heard of the french delicacy named foie gras ?

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Banned in my country, it seems

[–] Diabolo96@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 11 months ago

As it should be. This thing is beyond animal cruelty.

[–] ChaoticNeutralCzech@feddit.de 3 points 11 months ago

Is this how we got the term feedback?

[–] outer_spec@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 11 months ago

Hey, humans eat pork all the time, but god forbid pigs have some pork

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago (2 children)

i hereby take back every argument i have made against veganism

[–] soupcat@sopuli.xyz 1 points 11 months ago

one of us, one of us

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Grats on deciding to go vegan, lmk if you want some recipe suggestions.

also an oft overlooked area is dyes in food and cosmetics, some are derived from crushing arthropods :(

[–] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)
[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

:( but you said you took back your arguments. I assumed you thought it was something we should do from that

[–] ProgrammingSocks@pawb.social 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Humans are inherently hypocritical.

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Well we're capable of being, but most people try to do what they think is right.

I would've thought if someone finds this horrifying they'd feel they don't have a choice but to change the source of their materials. It's pretty easy to start doing, even if you are overwhelmed with cooking or whatever start learning and just get plant based food when you buy ready meals or eat out etc, stop buying leather belts and shoes and so on.

[–] SimplyATable@lemmy.world 0 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Or just start keeping in mind where your food is coming from. There are places that don't do things like this

[–] naevaTheRat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 11 months ago

Firstly you have basically no control over that. Any idea where the gelatin in a bag of lollies came from? what about rennet in your cheese? or even the milk?

secondly everywhere is doing shit like this. Profit is the motive, abuse happens. Everywhere goes to the same slaughterhouses and feedlots, chickens all come from the same factories, fish are all suffocated to death in a net.

[–] 257m@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 months ago

Well its a good thing I don't eat pork.
